Kneecap will play at Cork\u2019s Live At The Marquee in July, too.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the trio reacted to Keir Starmer resigning as UK Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party. The PM had pushed to have the group kicked off the Glastonbury 2025 line-up, with Kneecap hitting out at him for \u201carming a fucking genocide\u201d in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>They also condemned Starmer on the \u2018Fenian\u2019 single \u2018Liar\u2019s Tale\u2019, calling him a \u201cscumbag\u201d\u00a0for his involvement in helping to arm Israel.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with <em>NME<\/em>, Kneecap were asked why they thought politicians were so obsessed with artists saying things, rather than the origins of what they speak out about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s that need for sensationalism,\u201d M\u00f3gla\u00ed Bap replied. \u201cKeir Starmer giving an interview about us playing Glastonbury\u00a0to\u00a0<em>The Sun<\/em>? Why would he do that? That\u2019s weird.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gets to pretend to be outraged about something that doesn\u2019t really have an impact or any repercussions for him, but it makes him look good. We have this dysfunctional symbiotic relationship with politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In a four-and-a-half-star review of \u2018Fenian\u2019, <em>NME<\/em> described the album as \u201ca spraypainted brick wall of consistency, amplifying the adventure of\u00a0The Prodigy\u00a0and\u00a0Burial, seamlessly but tastefully hopping genres while keeping the vibe up to retain\u00a0Kneecap\u2019s knack for having a good time to illuminate the hard times\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cPut all the rage-bait headlines aside and what you\u2019re left with is a solid, progressive and fearless album from a group that could just as easily be dicking around instead of making music that matters. In that sense at least, their day has come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_single_tags tdi_87 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_87\">\n<div

This time it\u2019ll be even better: 25,000 sound heads in a park together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-2\" class=\"lazy-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have some of our best mates and best bands around to join us. This is one we can\u2019t wait for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following their big gig in the capital, the trio will perform at various European and UK summer festivals, including Roskilde, Rock Werchter and Boomtown. They\u2019ll also make appearances at Reading &amp; Leeds 2026 on the August Bank Holiday Weekend. Kneecap will play at Cork\u2019s Live At The Marquee in July, too.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the trio reacted to Keir Starmer resigning as UK Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party. The PM had pushed to have the group kicked off the Glastonbury 2025 line-up, with Kneecap hitting out at him for \u201carming a fucking genocide\u201d in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>They also condemned Starmer on the \u2018Fenian\u2019 single \u2018Liar\u2019s Tale\u2019, calling him a \u201cscumbag\u201d\u00a0for his involvement in helping to arm Israel.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with <em>NME<\/em>, Kneecap were asked why they thought politicians were so obsessed with artists saying things, rather than the origins of what they speak out about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s that need for sensationalism,\u201d M\u00f3gla\u00ed Bap replied. \u201cKeir Starmer giving an interview about us playing Glastonbury\u00a0to\u00a0<em>The Sun<\/em>? Why would he do that? That\u2019s weird.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe gets to pretend to be outraged about something that doesn\u2019t really have an impact or any repercussions for him, but it makes him look good. We have this dysfunctional symbiotic relationship with politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In a four-and-a-half-star review of \u2018Fenian\u2019, <em>NME<\/em> described the album as \u201ca spraypainted brick wall of consistency, amplifying the adventure of\u00a0The Prodigy\u00a0and\u00a0Burial, seamlessly but tastefully hopping genres while keeping the vibe up to retain\u00a0Kneecap\u2019s knack for having a good time to illuminate the hard times\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cPut all the rage-bait headlines aside and what you\u2019re left with is a solid, progressive and fearless album from a group that could just as easily be dicking around instead of making music that matters. In that sense at least, their day has come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/kneecap-open-exclusive-pop-up-merch-shop-in-london-ahead-of-huge-crystal-palace-park-show-3953501&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kneecap@2000&#215;1270.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Kneecap open exclusive pop-up merch shop in London ahead of huge Crystal Palace Park show Fans can get their hands on a limited edition gig print, a new logo cap, hoodies, T-shirts, a signed setlist from their Glastonbury 2025 performance and more By Damian Jones 26th June 2026 Kneecap, 2026.
